Why does Good_Haro as cis woman even tolerate working at mangagamer when they release those creepy games that objectify women, normalize rape and contain pedophilia? Is it because it's the only company that allows her to work on BL games so she kinda has to deal with it?

Considering they still haven't even got the second one out the door then that fix is still a long way off.

Fiction doesn't normalize behaviors, people acting them out irl does. All memes aside, I actually do think it's sad when people degrade themselves by working in the porn industry. Writing or translating erotica on the other hand doesn't strip anyone of their dignity.

You are wrong. Because Tencent is soul less and does not care about anything but their own country.
>they don't typically interfere with the operations of their studios.
They remove skulls, skeletons, ghosts from any game series they have that has it. Ever see the D&D trailer? Ever knew that they copy and paste from Team Fortress and claim it's their own?
>Meanwhile this company is just buying them for the IP and will likely shutter all VN development.
We will see what happens. Unless the original guys leave and form a new studio I highly doubt anything significant will happen.
